I’m Melissa, the founder of North House Society and the creator of The North House Post. I’m endlessly curious about the things that help us understand ourselves and the world around us, with a particular love for books, nature, old traditions, beautiful paper and ideas worth lingering over. The North House Post grew from my love of writing, researching, painting and making things by hand. Each month, I choose a subject I’m genuinely curious about and build an edition around it, bringing together a personal letter, something fascinating to learn, an analogue practice, a crossword, botanical pieces and original artwork. I believe knowledge can be found almost anywhere when we take the time to notice. The Post is my way of sharing some of what I’m noticing, learning and creating, one envelope at a time.
